MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM
Under normal use, this appliance will require only limited cleaning. Constant air flow through this appliance will cause
dust to collect on the burners, base and logs. An excessive build-up of dust can cause the pilot and burners to operate
incorrectly and produce high levels of carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas. This unit should be cleaned about once a
month.
To clean the burner and base, turn the heater OFF and allow the system to cool down. Remove top logs and bottom logs
very carefully. Vacuum or brush away all dust and lint from the system. Do not use any cleaning fluids to clean the logs
or any other part of the appliance.
Replace the logs in their proper position and relight the pilot. At least once a year, the log set and all gas piping should
be checked by a qualified service person.
